The order of St. Camillus (International body) has provided Covid, hurricane, and disaster relief to 22 countries as well as living communities in the United States.Locally, St. Camillus is a faith based, not for profit Life Plan Community. They offer
a total of 717 living units, including independent living, assisted living, specialized memory care, skilled nursing, and short-term rehabilitation. Units are available in various sizes ranging from 450 –2,000 square feet for independent living, and 1 – 2 person assisted living accommodations. Additional care or services are available with a full continuum of home health and hospice.
Residents are availed to on-site wellness nurses, Silver Sneakers organized activities, state of art exercise equipment, yoga studios, fitness and educational wellness classes, and an on-site medical clinic. Coming soon, a dedicated therapy space will be added.
Life Enrichment opportunities are offered through a varied, changing monthly activity book featuring cultural classes, outings, creativity classes and movies.
On the culinary side, St. Camillus is very proud of Executive Chef Giuseppe Asciutto, former Chef of Mima’s restaurant who provides fine to casual dining in 4 venues.
One program that has been great fun for the residents is their cultural integration program. The offering gives 3 Marquette University students accommodations in independent living at a reduced rent in exchange for 12 hours per week of their time spent with the residents. The plan is to expand the program next year to have 7 students in this program.
All faiths are welcome. The campus offers daily Mass and weekly Ecumenical services in any of the 3 chapels. The Pastoral Care Team is available 24 hours, 7 days a week to meet with residents, families or provide any support needed.
St. Camillus provides benevolent care if residents funds were to run out, giving residents security and stability of knowing the “what ifs” of the future are covered and they can remain as a resident.
